I doubt that. McHugh would probably balk or something, if he really were asleep.

Hoisted on my own grammatical petard! It appears that Polanco, even in his sleep, could hit McHugh!

 

Meanwhile, if Centeno's liner were a couple feet lower, McHugh's day would have been done.

Polanco's arm strength looks fine.

Good move taking Duffey out.  Get him the win.

[jimbo92107]

"Six unintentional walks."

 

Ball four. 

 

Seven unintentional walks.

This Polanco kid can play baseball.

yeah, I don't know who filed those scouting reports, but probably this guy... http://i240.photobucket.com/albums/ff212/crazygenius777/m_4c2c125543df486dadf2e5f51cfa1930.gif

Actually, there's a little "rainbow" in everything I've seen him throw this game.

 

IMO, of course.

[Jham]

I think Polanco's extreme arm angle makes his arm strength look weaker than it is.  I'd like to see him keep that elbow a little higher, but other than plays in the hole, his quick release likely makes up for arm strength on most plays.

[stringer bell]

Gomez is a shadow of his former self.

[big dog]

Boy, it looks like the Brewers traded GoGo just in time- not quite selling high, but at least getting out well before the bottom.

Three hits in the inning, including a double. Aren't we supposed to have a run?

gravity sucks!

Looks about the same strength as Dozier's arm. Adequate, not a bullet like Sano's.

I'll watch for that. I was only looking at end results

Skittles in his pocket I'm thinking.

Feeling a little embarrassed that I did that to you, you should just ignore it.

full-swing bunt.  Molitor taught him that.

[twinsnorth49]

Polanco hasn't had to make the back handed stab, plant and come back hard with the long throw. I'd like to see that a few times first.

'Tis but a scratch! ;-)

Don't feel too bad. 

 

He just called you a petard.

"Adequate" on defense in baseball terms usually means "on days he's not DHing".

I heard his sister was a thespian in high school, too. His brother was one as well.

[twinsnorth49]

I bet Kemp still wants to be a baseball player when he grows up.

His other brother, also, I heard.

Listening to the Olympic announcers gives me a greater appreciation for Dick and Bert...

I like our Olympic announcers. If the CBC does one thing well, it's sports.

so your people are aware that there are Olympics that are done without snow or ice?
